In the field of low-frequency noise control, the acoustic metamaterials have received extensive attention from researchers. However, the existing work mainly focuses on small structures with fixed boundaries, which is quite different from engineering applications. Based on the membrane-type acoustic metamaterials, this paper uses a rigid thin plate to replace the tensioned membrane, design and manufacture of two new types of local resonance structure and studies their sound insulation properties. First, the metamaterial samples with a small size of 100mm in diameter and a large-size square with a side length of 506mm were produced, and the sound TL of the two was tested through the impedance tube and the reverberation chamber-anechoic chamber, respectively. The results show that the new structure can form an obvious sound insulation frequency band at low frequencies. Based on the finite element method, a metamaterial acoustic transmission loss calculation model is established.
